Parmesan Penne with Spinach

by Anna Chwistek
Anna Chwistek

Parmesan penne with spinach. A creamy, delicate and easy to make pasta with spinach and a carbonara-style sauce. It’s garlic kissed with lots of black pepper and a splash of lemon juice to add some brightness. The result is a luscious pasta dish with sautéed spinach and a smooth egg-sauce that holds it all together. The best part? It’s ready in about 15 minutes.

Remember: the main goal is creaminess, and this is how we do it. First, we whisk the eggs with parmesan in a bowl and set this aside. We cook the pasta, and in the meantime, we sauté the spinach together with garlic and a splash of lemon juice. Add pasta and the egg-Parmesan mixture along with some cooking water, toss and we’re ready to serve. Add a simple salad on the side for a delicious meal.
Let me guide you through the recipe with this step-by-step VIDEO.
